An Aluminum Template for Casting Agarose Gels

Time-consuming construction and repair often is necessary for gel templates composed of glass plates and plastic strips. An aluminum template was developed to overcome these problems. It is sturdy, permanent, and produces agarose gels that yield linear, well resolved, and reproducible protein profiles. Further, agarose gels of varying thicknesses (1 to 3 mm) can be cast with this template.
